Choosing the best way to farewell your pet

Choosing the best way to farewell your pet

When that sad time comes to say goodbye to your beautiful pet, it’s best to be as prepared as possible. If you can plan ahead of time how you want to bid your friend farewell, the process will be a little easier to bear.

One of the tough decisions to make is whether to leave your pet’s journey to its final resting place in the hands of your vet, or whether you’d like to handle the farewell yourself. Either way, you can decide the way to best farewell your pet, and how you’d like to wrap your special friend for burial or cremation. 

To help you with your choices, here’s some information so you can make an informed decision:
